By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

State Democrats are pushing back against a Seattle Post-Intelligencer story from this morning stating that early turnout numbers were hurting Gov. Chris Gregoire. Gregoire has been consistently leading in polls for the last month.

They call the analysis "deeply flawed" and suggest that their methodology does not accurate take into account King County polling places.

Democrats go to bat for Ladenburg

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

Washington State Democratic Party Chair Dwight Pelz sent an e-mail to state Democrats on behalf of the party this weekend urging them to support their nominee for attorney general, Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg (D-Tacoma).

State Dems weigh in on social issues

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

State Democrats went after Republican gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi recently with a mocking press release comparing Rossi's policy on emergency contraception with a wistful Shakespearean sonnet.

On June 25, 2008 the Democrats caught heat from the Italian club of Seattle for a video they called offensive for its use of the theme song to the television show "The Sopranos" juxtaposed with a black and white photo of Dino Rossi. In response the Democrats kept the video but changed the background music.
